AARON ZACKS, campaign clialrman, sounded the theme for raising the remaining funds by referring to the Oct. 30 ground¬ breaking ceremony as the impetus for putting the drive over the top.
"When people saw the earth being turned at the ceremony," he said, "they perhaps realized for the first time that the new home is no longer a project in the plan¬ ning stage, but on its way to be¬ coming a steel and glass reality."

Would Use White House Authority
DETROIT (JTA)—Senator John F. Kennedy, the Democratic presi¬ dential candidate, pledged that. If elected on Nov. 8, he would "use all the authority of the 'White House to seek peace and imple¬ ment our moral commitments in the Middle East."
His pledge was contained in a message to the 32nd national con¬ vention of the Labor Zionist Or¬ ganization of America. The con¬ vention unanimously approved earlier action by the organiza¬ tion's central Committee, endors¬ ing the Kennedy-Johnson ticket.
The convention adopted a reso¬ lution calling on the United States Government not to support, under any circumstances, the candidacy ot the United Arab Republic for membership in the United Nations Security Council. The resolution declared that the United States should bring all its influence to bear to prevent any UN member from obtaining a seat on Its high¬ est peace tribunal who persists In avowing that It Is in a state of war with another merhber, and continues to Ignore resolutions of the Security Council.
(Foreign Minister CJolda Meir of Israel told members of the United Jewish Appeal study mis¬ sion in Jerusalem Saturday night that Israel hoped that whoever was elected President of the United States on Nov, 8 would continue a policy of friendship towards Israel and would work to bring about direct Arab-Israeli talks.
(Mrs. Meir stressed that Israel wanted help only tn getting direct talks with the Arabs and would not agree to any arbitration or mediation.)
The Labor Zionists also urged the United States (Government to provide Israel and all other peace- loving nations with firm guaran¬ tees against aggression; to reiuse to acquiesce in arty illegitimate acts of boycott, blockade or denial of just rights committed against Israel; and to reject the "Intoler¬ able" discriminations which the Arab States practice against American Jews and American firms doing business with Israel.

The editorial alleged that Israelis were warning Anierican friends and relatives to vote for Nixon In the Interests of Israel. Klein subsequently repudiated the release from his office.

Davar maintained that the editotrlal quoted in the Nixon hdadquarters press release should not be regarded as "a reliable expression of Israeli opinion."
Davar added that the Israeli public "has not and wlU not adopt any stand on the elections In the United States and Is con¬ vinced that, whosoever may be elected, America's friendship toward Israel will continue forever."

The former bead of the Ameri¬ can delegation to the United Na¬ tions said In a Cleveland press conference. In response to a ques¬ tion: "I have always taken tbe position that nations should not be elected to the Security CouhcU that are not confined within United Nations resolutions.

Lodge pointed out that "The UAR Is not complying with United Nations resolutions on the sub¬ ject of free navigation of the Suez Canal" and declared that "there¬ fore, I would not think we should support the election of the UAK to the Security Council."
